The AlphaTauri AT01 is the Formula 1 - racing cars of AlphaTauri for the Formula 1 World Championship 2020 . It is the team's 15th Formula 1 car since it was owned by Red Bull and the first to be registered as the AlphaTauri . The paintwork of the car was presented on February 14, 2020 in Salzburg on the previous model , and the first pictures of the actual car were published on the same day.

Technology and development

Like all Formula 1 vehicles of 2020, the AT01 is a rear-wheel drive monoposto with a monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) . In addition to the monocoque, many other parts of the vehicle, including the body parts and the steering wheel, are made of CFRP. The brake discs are also made from a composite material reinforced with carbon fibers.

The AT01 is the successor to the Scuderia Toro Rosso STR14 . Since the technical regulations for the 2020 season remained largely stable, the vehicle is largely a further development.

The AT01 is powered by a 1.6-liter V-6 engine of Honda in the middle of the vehicle with turbocharger and a 120  kW strong electric motor , so it is a hybrid electric vehicle . The force transmits a sequential with paddle shifters operated eight-speed transmission of Red Bull Racing. The vehicle has only two pedals, an accelerator pedal (right) and a brake pedal (left). Just like many other functions, the clutch , which is only used when starting from a standstill, is operated via a lever on the steering wheel.

The total width of the vehicle is 2000 mm, the width between the front and rear axles 1600 mm, the height 950 mm. The front wing has a width of 2000 mm, the rear wing of 1050 mm and a height of 820 mm. The diffuser is 175 mm high and 1050 mm wide. The car is equipped with 305 mm wide front tires and 405 mm wide rear tires from the standard supplier Pirelli , which are mounted on 13-inch wheels.

Like all Formula 1 vehicles since 2011 , the AT01 has a Drag Reduction System (DRS), which reduces the drag of the vehicle on the straights by flattening part of the rear wing , if it is allowed to be used. The DRS is also activated with a switch on the steering wheel of the car.

The AT01 is equipped with the Halo system , which provides additional protection for the driver's head.

Painting and sponsorship

The AT01 is mostly painted in white and dark blue, only the sponsor stickers from engine supplier Honda are in red.

In addition to Red Bull (with the clothing brand AlphaTauri ), Casio (with the Edifice brand ), engine supplier Honda, Moose Cider and Pirelli advertise on the vehicle.

driver

AlphaTauri will be competing in the 2020 season with drivers Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kwjat , who ended the previous season at Toro Rosso.
